The Geogratis collection type represents a significant portion of the dataset records on the Open Government Portal. These legacy records published by NRCan come from a system that no longer exists within the department, and have a significant number of broken links and other issues. Additionally the way these records were added to the catalogue makes it difficult for a user to find the geogratis product that are looking for.
There are 1000s of map tiles within the catalogue, that have non-user friendly names, and limited metadata to support findability. For example we can look at some of the search results for geogratis records:
If we look at one of those records we can see that it is a small portion of a larger map. This is a scan of a paper document, and there are 1000s of these similar scanned paper maps in the system.
